Newspaper Opinions "Ten Dollar Raise"— Asso. Prod. Capitol TIMES — The picture is done with many little human touches, some bright humor, and a great deal of exaggeration and needless melodrama.

SUN — One of the really enjoyable film bursts of the year. POST — A modest little comedy which, despite a melodramatic dissonance, is far preferable to the over inflated "morality" movies which of late have been something too much with us. MAIL — A delightfully human film, dealing with the hard working and downtrodden clerk, to whom the author has dedicated it. JOURNAL — Humor, romance and excitement contribute to hold Capitol Theater audiences enchanted with Albert S. Le Vino's screen version of Peter B. Kyne's story. rman Kerry and George Macrie have been added to the cast ind the Woman." "A Private Scandal"— Realart — F. P.-L TIMES — May McAvoy does not emote all over the place, but gives an intensity to her emotional scenes that electrifies them. Above all, she is genuine. She even makes the character of the impossible French girl in "A Private Scandal" almost human. AMERICAN— Film of ruin of home lifted to point of some interest by May McAvoy, delightful actress with talent. TRIBUNE— If all we hear of the needs of "the interior" be true, that it ought to be a great attraction on the road. TELEGRAPH— Except for the fact that' there are too many incidents of overhearing and overseeing in the picture, the story is effective and well presented. WORLD — Appealing and growing intense photoplay about a French orphan who comes to America in her sixteenth year.

SUN — Fans who were charmed by Miss McAvoy's interpretation of Barrie's Grisel in "Sentimental Tommy" probably were looking forward expectantly to her next picture, but they are doomed to disappointment. TELEGRAM— Again little Miss May McAvoy wins her public as the heroine of a "Private Scandal," revealing anew that charm and histrionic gift which made her appearance as Grizel in "Sentimental Tom' my" a signal event, "A Kiss in Time"— Realart Rialto AMERICAN— Wanda Hawley, who has ben chief charmer to practically all of the most attractively charmed male stars of the screen, is the stellar light of a harmless, icecream sort of comedy. HERALD — It's full of tricky surprises, but it gets your number. For it never ceases to rush along, most of the time on the four wheels of motor cars, and it sets up such a breeze of laughter one doesn't need to fan oneself. WORLD — At lilting, silly comedy, in which the hero had the heavy acting. JOURNAL— There are several reels of frothy, and frequently delicately amusing incident, told in interesting background and by a good cast. The star is pretty in a girlish, blond way. GLOBE — If you enjoy blond curls, dimples and coy glances you will get them ad lib. POST — By way of adding another dry spot to the present drought of good entertainment, Realart presents Wanda Hawley in this quite inconsiderable trifle of poorly carpentered romance. EVE. TELEGRAM— A very agreeable little screen comedy, with appealing touches of romance More Pay for Penn.
